the infamous panache and friends

[Jock Scot]

hey im going to prom with a young ladyfriend of mine and she has picked and purchased a lovely maroon dress as my name implies i am a buchanan and have only a buchanan kilt ... which doesnt go with maroon at all ...so my question is what tartan would go best with maroon ... i dont have time to have one made in maroon but im gonna go off the rack if i can find a tartan ... ill only have 2 weeks between getting the funds and prom so handmade is out ... well any advice is apreciated as always

This may be a bit tricky for people to understand,but here goes anyway!Wear your kilt and wear it with pride and on no account change your clan/family tartan for anything.Yes, not even for a pretty girl!I have never heard of any lady in Scotland even suggest(dare even)that the kilt should match the dress,I am not suggesting for one second that your lady has, and I have never heard of a Scotsman consider that he should.For goodness sake you have Scots blood in your veins and you want to dress like a Scot, so think like one!I very sorry to be so blunt and of course you will do what you will do anyway.Good luck.
